Shepherds...and Joy

Advent basically means arrival, and specifically the arrival of a notable person. (So when you were born that was an advent!) The advent season in the church world refers to the four Sunday’s leading up to Christmas — when we celebrate the advent of the most notable baby ever. One advent tradition is called the advent calendar which has a “door” for every day of the advent season with something festive or meaningful behind it. Each week during advent we are going to open seven doors and discover the truth and meaning of the greatest Advent of all time.
